Thanks you guys and gals.Her transplant will take place tomorrow.I "talked" with her today and she was so disoriented it was scary. To be expected, her case manager told me.The next two weeks are the crucial time, determining whether the donors cells will be accepted. I will update when I know anyhting more. Abrazos, Sally

Keep the faith and Jesus has the power of mercy and love which can heal all who believe in him. I have had friends go through this and know just how much it takes out of those fighting it and those helping them. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Take Care & Travel Safe- bajafun777

So far so good! Just spoke with her and her Dad.The immediate concern after the transplant was heart problems.She has a strong one!!She was taking a walk when we talked.Keep up the good energy Nomads.She doesn't know how bad/sick she will more than likely be in the next two weeks. According to the doctor, it is a given.She will make it tho!! :yes:

Oh thank you so much Jorge!! The girls absolutley loved the farm(and you, by the way!)They are very curious and careful not to disturb nature.When they walk to school in the early morning the snails are out on the sidewalk, doing their thing.Alexa picks them up and moves each and every one out of harms way!(I throw them in the street when I find them eating my flowers,shhh!)Yah, it was a fun day, and I got a bit muddy too.All good and thank you SO much for your generosity!Juanita is doing very well, still no problems as of todays report!! I'm sure the girls told her about you and the farm today.... (Rachel: this is probably the biggest garden I will ever see!) Abrazos Grandes from me and the girls!

Last I heard from her Dad, Buck, who has spent a lot of time with her during the last few months, her liver was not functioning, esopahgus bleeding, and no white cell counts at all.As of yesterday, Buck discovered that they were giving her the WRONG kind of platlets! So he call her doc back at UCI and told him.He had the correct platlets delivered the next day and she was stableized.So far today I cannot get ahold of him.She is very delusional, halucinates, and cannot speak nor eat. They said it was going to be hell before the stem cells kicked in.But wow.I have the girls and they are being angels, but miss Mommy so much.I will post here later as I am sure Buck will have an update for me.Thanks for asking DK!

Wow. How could they make a mistake like that. After all of the searching and finding a donor halfway across the world they blow it like that. That's unforgiveable!

:fire::fire::fire:

P.S. A lot of us wanted to ask about Juanita these days but felt uncomfortable asking.

Thank you Igor for telling me that .I know many here are worried and concerned about her.I never heard back today but will try again tomorrow.Yeah, you would think that hospital with the reputation is has would be more than on top of things.I am so thankful her Dad has been there with her so much to be able to pinpoint the mistake.Very glad he finally stepped up to the plate for her and very strongly so.I will post when I hear news.It will be tomorrow.

Here is some GOOD news!!Juanita is eating and lucid, wanting to walk!Apparently, the combination of Dilatid and another drug they were giving her were causing major confusion and memory loss.They took her off both and she is doing much better today.They are still trying to find out what is causing her liver problem and are doing scans as I type this.So it seems, she has hit rock bottom(we hope!) and is on her way back up.It really is a day to day thing.Her girls haven't been able to talk to her for almost two weeks but her Dad says she is able to today! They will be so happy to hear her voice!Not out of the woods by any means but any good news is great news!! I'll keep ya'll updated .Abrazos, Sally
